Playing with macro photography

I was bored and decided to hack together a macro photography kit from a cheap pair of binoculars I bought at Aldi. Just shooting at night, with crappy yellowish room light, the photo to the right is an example of what I got for results.

The basic process is:

1. Remove both of the main lenses from the binoculars.

2. Tape the binocular lenses together.

3. Take four two-inch pieces of sturdy wire, and tape the lenses at the end.

4. Tape the open end of the wires to a 50mm SLR lens.

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,
